What Caloundra Patients Say
I had an extremely positive experience. The lady behind the desk was friendly and most helpful by sorting out the Medicare straightaway.
Trudi, the physiotherapist listened and appeared to understand my problem and provide a correct diagnosis . She massaged the affected areas which helped to loosen the muscles to improve my mobility.
I had a follow up call the next day. Excellent service 👏👏
Today was my 2nd visit to Julie for my vertigo. The 1st she cured in one visit and
I am hoping this result will be the same this time.
At no time did I feel I was being hurried during the extra long time she gave me.
I highly recommend this Practice for their professionalism and friendliness and Julie for all of the above. Ruth Buick
I have rare complex & chronic brain & spine conditions/disorders, that continually cause daily chronic pain. Been with these guys since 2020. They have always taken the time to actually learn about the rare conditions i have and keep their knowledge of my constant and often sudden changing conditions/flare ups/multiple organ removal/sudden hospitalisations and constantly keep very detailed notes on me. I often have to suddenly change/cancel appointments and they are always very understanding and accomodating. Recently ive needed an extra appointment weekly due to severe new pain and they even got me in straight away. Im able to access all the exercises/programs set for me at home on my ipad. I especially love how Julie explains so much to me, and keeps up to date with info from my other therapists to maintain a plan of attack and treat me as a ‘whole’. Julie also often doubles as my counsellor and just listens to me ramble while she types info, massages and needles me! And the clerical staff are always super friendly and go out of their way to help me☺️
Cant rate Sports and Spinal Caloundra enough. Montana has treated me for over 2.5 years and is very knowledgeable and proactive in getting you moving quicker and easier without the pain. The ladies are very cheerful and the personalised exercise apps assist with doing your exercise homework. Just generally good people at this physio!!! Shout out to Ash to my EP!
Firstly I must congratulate the HR manager for putting together such a fantastic team.
Starting with the reception members to the therapists you feel like part of environment that is unique in the care & attention not only given to me but also other patients.
Thank you Shannon, Abbey, Ash, Eliza & Julie for all of help.
As for Montana I’m sure she removes her wings before coming to work. A pure angel that has made a huge difference in my recovery.
I have endured multiple surgeries over the past 15 months and therefore had the pleasure of having quite a few appointments (2 per week) in that period of time. I have had nothing but great service from all of the team at Caloundra Sports and Spinal mostly (Julie, Caitlyn, Cass and Juliet). Their mannerism, attention to detail with my appointments, smiling faces and care around my specific needs has been outstanding to say the least. Being in business for myself I can understand and appreciate the cancellation policy and have nothing but respect for all the team. I have had to put one in place myself as it is not that easy to replace a paying client last minute. Thank you guys for helping make my journey almost bearable!! Onwards and upwards for me thanks to you guys and the surgeon 🙏🏻
I’ve been dealing with Montana the specialist physio for a year & a half with my complex condition, took over half a dozen physio clinics over 4 years to figure out what’s wrong with me and she found out!
Lovely service & staff, they have alot of options for therapy such as Hydro etc also 🙂
Staff are fantastic, they are professional, friendly and just deliver an all round great experience . Highly recommended.
